Sen. Biden pledges to fulfill the promise to leave no child behind we have to direct adequate resources to update schools, reduce class size and school size, reward quality educators, and improve teacher pay.

College:
Biden wants to ensure everyone has access to higher education. His College ACCESS Act of 2007 would provide free tuition for the fist two years of college for middle and lower class students. The bill would consolidate the Hope Scholarship Credit and the tuition and fees deduction and replace them with one $3,000 refundable tax credit. This would cover the average $2,300 cost of tuition at a public two-year college and pay for half of the average $5,800 cost of tuition at a public four-year college for families making up to $166,000 per year.

He supports raising PELL grants from $4,310 to $5,100.

Biden would expand national service programs to high school students so that they can earn money for college by participating in public service while they are in high school.
